Weird, a sunny day.  Hardly any pow left on the main runs (still lots in the trees though).  Russia, France, and Finland had their Alpine Snowboard teams out training today.  I rode the lift with the Finnish team.  She’s very nice.

Here’s some Frenchy in tight pants.

Actually, I like this one a lot better.  For some reason, she looks a lot better to me in lycra than that other dude.  Must be the light.

A couple of Russkies carving the corduroy for you.

Actually, this one is for Tippie (he still rides the hard plates and a vintage 20th century carving stick when he’s not cackling down mountains on his bike).

Meh, with all that groomed snow around, I had to go for a little walk.

I wish I had the time to get over there, though.  We’re having a big year in the Okanagan for snow.

OK, another Olympian.  Svetlana something or other.  She didn’t have much english, and my Russian is limited to ordering several shots of vodka at a time.

The Mexican snowboard team.  Those birdbrains didn’t qualify for the Olympics, though.

Ahhh, my lunchtime tracks.  You can see last weeks avalanche pretty good from this angle.  It looks worse than it really was.  A bit of cornice fell off.  There’s gonna be a big avvie cycle later, but it’s bomber out there right now.
